1 Eco-friendly composites: developing sustainable solutions for modern engineering 1 Eco-Friendly Composites examines the development and application of sustainable composite materials in modern engineering. The primary aim of this initiative is to integrate natural fibers and bio-based polymers to create eco-friendly composites that ensure performance while minimizing their environmental impact. The focus lies in enhancing life cycle assessments, mechanical properties, and processing techniques to guarantee that these materials meet the demands of various industries, including construction, automotive, and aerospace. These composites offer lightweight and cost-effective alternatives to traditional materials, simultaneously reducing carbon footprints by incorporating renewable resources and minimizing waste. While preserving performance and cost-effectiveness, the research underscores that eco-friendly composites hold the potential to transform engineering practices and promote a more sustainable future. 1 9 Mahboubeh Izadi Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Ohio University, Athens, OH USA mi397022@ohio.edu Leila Bazli School of Science and Technology, The University of Georgia, 0171 Tbilisi Georgia info@jourcc.com Eco-Friendly Composites Natural fibers Green composites Modern engineering Article.pdf [1] T.T.
